Ok, here is what I am looking for...
____ Your essay is a minimum of 550 words. Do a word count. You can go over, but most of your first essays needed to be longer to be more effective.
____ A paragraph which begins by showcasing your character, personality, credibility, knowledge, history. Whatever it is you have going for you which will make you an expert on your subject and a believable narrator. This could be an informal story, or facts and details that you know, but your voice must come through!
____ From there move into your argument. Given your knowledge on your topic, what are you proposing to change or have me do or understand about it. Why is your idea correct? How do you know this? Provide details, preferably ones only you would know.
____ You must acknowledge an argument someone else could make which is different from your own. Argue why that argument would be wrong.
____ In your conclusion, reiterate why you are a credible, knowledgeable voice. Why would I be at a loss to not side with you?
